'Financing primary health care'
id21 insights health #12, May 2008

Today, millions of people in low- and middle-income countries do not have access to basic, good quality health services. The Alma Ata Declaration in 1978 defined primary health care as basic health care built on technically sound and socially adequate approaches, universally accessible and affordable to all individuals. This issue of id21 insights explores the challenges facing donors and national governments in providing and financing primary health care for all.

The latest issue of id21 insights health is guest edited by Valeria Oliveira-Cruz, Health Policy Unit, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, with contributions on the topics of:
*       Skilled delivery care in Indonesia
*       The story of primary health care: from Alma Ata to the present day
*       Contracting out health services: broadening coverage, raising quality, lowering cost
*       Better access to effective antimalarials: The Affordable Medicines Facility for malaria
*       Efficiency and equity through a sector-wide approach in Uganda
*       Tackling Malawi's human resources crisis
